Hinihikayat din nito ang patuloy na pagpapaunlad at paggamit ng ating pambansang wika sa harap ng mabilis na pag-unlad ng teknolohiya, nang may pagsasaalang-alang sa mga usaping etikal at pangkultura.

Ang 𝐁𝐮𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚 ay ipinagdiriwang tuwing buwan ng Agosto alinsunod sa 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐠. 𝟏𝟎𝟒𝟏, 𝐬. 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟕, bilang pagkilala sa kahalagahan ng Wikang Filipino sa pagpapatibay ng pambansang pagkakakilanlan at pagkakaisa.
